In the spirit of festive generosity, the Epic Games Store (EGS) has been unwrapping digital delights for gamers across the globe this holiday season. EGS users have been treated to a daily dose of excitement, with each day revealing a new free mystery game to claim and add to their burgeoning digital libraries. The latest gem bestowed upon gaming enthusiasts is none other than “The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition,” marking the culmination of a week-long parade of exceptional titles.
The EGS free mystery game bonanza kicked off on December 13 with the giveaway of “Destiny 2: Legacy Collection,” a stellar start that set the stage for a captivating lineup. Subsequent days saw the spotlight shift to various genres, from the fast-paced action of “DNF Duel” to the serene world of “Melvor Idle” and the thrilling rally experience in “Art of Rally.” The countdown to Christmas Eve reached its climax with the inclusion of the post-apocalyptic masterpiece, “Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition,” and the supernatural adventure, “Ghostwire: Tokyo.”
However, the grand finale of this gaming extravaganza is the highly acclaimed “The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition,” available for free until 10:00 am CST on December 26. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, this sci-fi RPG draws inspiration from the beloved Fallout franchise and originally hit the gaming scene in 2019, garnering widespread praise.
What makes this festive offering even more exciting for EGS users is that they aren’t just receiving the base game. The “Spacer’s Choice Edition” includes not only “The Outer Worlds” but also the expansions “Peril on Gorgon” and “Murder on Eridanos.” This comprehensive edition ensures that players get the full Outer Worlds experience, preparing them for the eagerly anticipated sequel, “The Outer Worlds 2,” currently in development.
The Outer Worlds, set in a dystopian future, allows players to explore a vast and immersive universe filled with compelling characters and intricate storylines. The Spacer’s Choice Edition enhances this experience with additional content, providing players with new challenges, mysteries, and adventures to embark upon.
A noteworthy trend in this year’s EGS free mystery game promotion has been the prominence of Xbox-owned studios. “Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition” from Bethesda, and “Ghostwire: Tokyo” from Tango Gameworks (another Xbox-owned studio), have graced the EGS giveaways. With “The Outer Worlds” also developed by Obsidian Entertainment, another jewel in Xbox’s gaming crown, it raises speculation about whether this trend will continue with future free offerings on the platform.
As gamers revel in the joy of unwrapping digital presents this holiday season, the Epic Games Store remains at the forefront of spreading cheer and goodwill among the gaming community. The diverse selection of free games, ranging from FPS classics to indie darlings, showcases the platform’s commitment to providing a variety of gaming experiences for all tastes.
With “The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition” as the crowning jewel in this festive line up, EGS users have undoubtedly experienced a gaming holiday like no other. As the year draws to a close, one can’t help but wonder what surprises and delights the Epic Games Store has in store for gamers in the coming year. Until then, may the digital adventures continue, and may your libraries be ever-expanding with the treasures of virtual worlds.
